Exactly,
It's general knowledge that the Victors pulse 12V to the motors to control their speed. Except at the extremes when the FET's give the full 12V. It would be very difficult to measure this on a general purpose multimeter.

I am extremely skeptical of the voltages you are getting. A better test would be to see if the frequency is linear. I plan on checking that when I get back to the lab after the holidays.
Wouldn't these numbers make perfect sense in these instances? how at around 0 it went flat.. and untill that point it was near the bottom, and when it was near full 12v it was at the top? It would be taking the pulse average?

And with it fluctuating, it would confuse the meter?

Am I way off here?
